Answer A. Study historical context by examining letters written by Roman fans of the Colosseum

The Roman government during the ancient roman coliseum wanted to keep the idle masses entertained because they knew that a large group of poor people was a major threat to their empire. Therefore, the Romans enjoyed many different forms of entertainment, most of which were free.

Some things the Romans did for fun were horrible. They enjoyed fights between gladiators, and fights between people and animals. These bloodthirsty shows were put on in front of crowds in large arenas called amphitheatres. Roman emperors paid for free shows at theatres and amphitheatres.

At that time the Romans had no religions like we have at the present time. They had lots of different gods and goddesses. There were gods for almost everything, like thunder, love, war, wisdom and even the sewer in Rome, so the human values were quite different from what we know it today in modern societies that do not tolerate such violence and slavery.

Mashcka [7]
<span>The consolidation of work and profit became one of the primary ways in which people and business were impacted through the Industrial Revolution.  Factories helped to consolidate workforces and the development of products.  The consolidation of profit happened when more products could be created for greater profit.  The consequence of urbanization followed the factory process, consolidating a workforce into one concentrated area and allowing factory owners a greater pool from which to employ and enhance their profits and the production of their factories.</span>
